Review
Almost an expose on the Golden Dawn
R.A. Gilbert did a halfway decent job exposing the Golden Dawn. Since he's an occultist himself, he doesn't go all the way and say "They were nothing but fakes, frauds, and gullible fools, and it's all just a pack of lies", but there are you feel he's going to when you're reading the book. He details the Jackson rape scandal of the early 20th century that ultimatley helped destroy the Golden Dawn (or at least it played a small part). There are plenty of rare pictures, included a novelty greeting card that satirized the trial, showing it got a lot of publicity at the time. Skeptics will certainly enjoy this book, as long as they read between the lines.
